Don't watch TV that much anyway, and never on the PC.
As for installing loads of files in a folder, luckily on Linux all you have to do is delete the folder not like M$ where the registry is so bloated it needs cleaning then falls over.

Very true.
A TV screen will give better quality video than any PC.
But I tend to download programmes to my PC & use it as a media player.
My TV will play video files via DLNA.
So I generally get limited to iPlayer - but I'd like to have access to the Channel 4 catch-up programmes.
BTW it only takes 10 minutes to set up a VM and it's an excellent way of testing non-repository software.

Finally!!!
Just found out how to do it properly (in Linux) to give what appears to be SD quality.
vokoscreen is a screen capture program which gives a H264/AAC format in a MKV file.
AFAIK it didn't drop any frames in 45 minutes of a full-screen capture.

Most (but not all) TV catch-up services stream the content, which means you are beholden to them.
Since my TV doesn't do flash, I require a download.
This gives two choices - torrents or screen capture off of my PC.
